Resumen
Descripción
According to the World health
Organization (WHO), there are currently more than 650
million People with Disabilities (PWD) globally. Their
numbers grow daily due to chronic diseases, illness,
injuries, violence, and aging. Of further note is the fact
that, in general, PDWs have education attainment rates well
national averages, while illiteracy among children is well
national averages. Overall, there are low incentives to hire
PWDs, especially in the private sector, and often income
protection and rehabilitation programs are not extended in
the degree to which they would meet their needs.
